Bethesda still are great developers. I know they should have put in a lot more effort into the PS3 versions of their games but they do make great rpgs. On pc, Skyrim is excellent and the mods and the Creation Kit are fantastic.
On topic. I love GTA and the length between each release certainly makes it special. That and the fact that Rockstar North have some of the most talented developers in the industry. Give talented developers plenty of time to work and the result is qual...
I am a software developer. I have a degree in Computer Science and in my college class, there were about five females and about 30 males. I am from Ireland and a high grade in maths in the leaving certificate (exams at the end of high school) is a requirement for a place in a good Computer Science course in University. Now of course women are no worse than men at maths but they just don't have the same interest. In the higher level maths class in high school, it was also predominantly mal...

Let's not forget that MS is behind DirectX which is the graphics API used my most games on PC and 360. They're also behind PC and Visual Studio which is used to write the code in the first place. Also, try write code in objective c and then in c# and tell me which is better.

Dishonoured is better than all games released last year apart from Skyrim and maybe Portal 2.And I mean miles ahead of your linear little Gears and Uncharted games that offer the player no choice or mental challenge.
Hasn't Uncharted and Gears regen health? I don't like regen health but I also don't like inconsistency.
Even though I'm a fan of Molyneux and have defended him a lot here, I think he needs to stay quiet, go into the shadows and just concentrate on making a great game. Let his game do the talking instead of his mouth. If he just stops talking and promising this and that and just says nothing about his game until a few weeks before release, people will be less harsh on him.
Let's take Skyrim for example. A game with hundreds of hours of gameplay. Its a mess on PS3 and the 360 version pales in comparison to it running even on a mid ranged PC. You want to play with a 360 controller? Plug it into the pc and play. You want keyboard and mouse, use that. Skyrim looks gorgeous on a high end pc and the loading times are barely existent. The mods from skyrimnexus or steam are excellent and better than the official DLC. The Creation Kit comes free and is quite powerfu...
Even if Molyneux over-promised on the Fable games, the people complaining are the idiots who believe what a developer says about a game they have not played yet. One thing I'll give to Molyneux is that he's very passionate about games. He could have stayed at Microsoft earning a lot of money but he chose to go back and develop smaller games. I think he needs a well deserved break form the industry and then he can come back fighting.
Made on pc and made for pc are two very different things. The code could run on pc first but not be optimised for pc first.
PC is not just best graphics but faster loading times, longer draw distances, mods, more on screen at once. Also in a game like GTA, vehicles will stay in memory longer, more vehicles and people on screen, faster loading, better detail and the ability to be on a sky scraper and see all the people and cars on the street instead of them disappearing like on consoles.
More efficient 3D model and texture storage, loading and unloading.
You are becoming less and less pro Nintendo and more and more pro Microsoft. Next you'll be sucking Sony off and then Apple.
Assassin's Creed 3 9.5. Funny stuff.

Look at CoD releasing year after year with the same rubbish. The Japanese culture like games that require them to think. Many Americans like games where you can go bang bang all day without stressing the brain tissue. CoD is aimed at children, teens and the mentally incapable. It sells well because there are many Americans who are mentally incapable. Such as those who voted for Mitt Romney. Though don't get me wrong, I believe all republicans should be exterminated humanel...
I you played Mafia, you would no that it is not a GTA clone. It released in 2002 when GTA 3 had only released a year beforehand. It is quite different from GTA.
No PC is not the lead platform. I know from creating game engines. Its not the hardware you code on, its the hardware you code for. Having said that, the PC version will probably launch late 2013 and should be the best version, at least graphically, once Rockstar do a better job than they did with IV's PC version.
Female characters in a gangster role are just not as believable as male characters. That's not being sexist. Its just being realistic. Most criminals happen to be men, certainly the ones doing bank heists. Also, the three characters will interact with each other all throughout the story, a proper man's conversation wouldn't be possible between them with a woman constantly around. Maybe what I'm saying is ridiculous but I think Dan Houser is long enough at this to know what he&...
Come on now. Epic games are the creators of the Unreal Engine. Don't say that they're not creative.
